“Perfection”



“We arrived exhausted from a long journey. Betty met us, showed us around, lit the fire and made us feel at home.
The property and garden/yard were spotlessly clean. Everything is in working order and well maintained.
The scenery was stunning. Beautiful walks in the mountains. An ideal location as a base for exploring Ireland. Our Jack Russel loved it.
Local villages: Ballyorgan and Ardpatrick. Local towns: Kilmallock, Mallow, Charleville, Kildorrery, Limerick. Places to go: Cashel, Cork, Ballyhoura mountain walks and bike trails. Ballyhoura way.
I have returned to the UK very relaxed and totally satisfied with the holiday and the excellent hospitality of the people of the Republic of Ireland.”

“Peace, tranquility, clean air and friendly people”

“We were welcomed by a lovely neighbour to the property who took us round the cottage and clearly explained everything and that, if we needed anything at all, she was just a short walk or phone call away. The welcome pack was a very nice and unexpected touch.
The charming 300 year old cottage, which was very well-equipped with all the modern amenities, was clean and very homely, still containing personal items of the lady that had once lived for most of her life. The owner also paid a pleasant courtesy call to see that we had everything we needed.
Just 5 minutes drive from Ardpatrick or 10 minutes from the larger Kildorrerey and situated approximately halfway between Limerick and Cork, this is an isolated location with little or no nightlife but rich in beauty, peace and tranquility. A perfect medicine for the stressed-out city dweller!
I have only one issue - anyone over 5'4" will have to do some head-ducking when moving around the bedrooms but that comes with the charm and age of the cottage.
All in all, a memorable experience which we are likely to repeat.”

“We liked the scenery, the peacefulness and the proximity to trails. It was very relaxing and in an excellent 'full Irish' historical setting. A wonderful experience!”

Mrs McCleary, BARRIE, July 2016

“A cosy, time warped property,in a lovely location. The housekeeper is a lovely lady, who couldn't have been kinder or more helpful.”

Mr Evans, Abergele, May 2016

“The house is a traditional cottage with low ceilings and thick walls. A very well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom have been added to the ground floor. There are some nice views and woodland walks while the road network gives ready access to other locations.
The village is nicely placed to access various attractions”

Mr McDonnell, Birkenhead, August 2015

“The cottage is immaculate and represents absolute value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone.”

Mr Berwick, Girvan, July 2015

“The reception at our cottage was just perfect. The owner was very helpful and informative, you just needed to ask. The cottage is located very centrally with easy access to most attractions in South Ireland.”

Glenosheen, originally built by a colony of Palatine settlers, sits below the Ballyhoura mountains, just 2 miles from the village of Ardpatrick, named after Ireland’s patron saint, St Patrick.

Kilfnane boasts an excellent outdoor education centre for school, youth and adult groups with a wide range of adventure sports and courses including canoeing, rockclimbing, hillwalking, horseriding and abseiling to name but a few!
